Education in Action Luncheon

We will use the occasion to reflect on the year, learning from our collective experiences in the program.

Info

Time:
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Sponsor:

For faculty who are thinking about integrating Community Based Learning (CBL) into their courses, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the EIA program that pairs faculty with a trained and supported student facilitator for CBL-related activities within a course. The EIA program is an invaluable asset to courses across the curriculum, and it is a central component within the Keck Undergraduate Research Program.

Please RSVP by April 12 and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You can check out the CCBL website for more information on Education in Action (EIA): http://departments.oxy.edu/ccbl
